Hello All,
We must email or call the House Ways and Means Committee and ask them to
vote in favor of HB1181, the Accountability Act for Accessible K-12
Education.  The email address is firstname.lastname at house.state.md.us . If
you are calling, the main number is either 410-841 or 301-858. I will
provide the appropriate extensions. We need to take action today because

message followed by the list of committee members.

The National Federation of the Blind of Maryland knows that blindness is
not the characteristic that defines you or your future. Everyday we raise
the expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want;
blindness is not what holds you back.
